    Article Summary

    You can add alternative text to images to allow screen readers to identify image content. 

    To add alternative text to an image, follow these steps:

    1. Upload an image in the text editor.
    2. Click the image and select the ellipsis icon () directly below the bottom-right corner of the image.
    3. Select Add alt text.
    4. Enter the alternative text and click Done.
    Alternative text should be a brief and specific description of what is shown in the image. It is not necessary to preface the description with 'image of' or 'picture of'. Images of text should be kept to a minimum. However, if images are used as button functionality, the alt text attribute should describe the function of the image, for example 'Sign up' or 'Submit'.

    Adding alternative text to an image in the text editor.
